Wrote this column in part because my feelings about the Giants/Posey Pride game controversy wouldn't go away.

Not feelings of despair, but feelings of confidence and strength that at-will employees — even a beloved World Series legend — can't change the unchangeable in this city.

Yarn bombing is where knitted or crocheted yarn—rather than paint—adorns public objects like poles, and benches. Also known as "guerrilla knitting,", it is a street art originally started by women #Womensart

Super fun read for your Sunday!

We asked the question: How did S.F. homes get so colorful?

The answer was a journey, involving battleship paint, psychedelics and a rainbow home a block from the Painted Ladies. (Which were once zoned for demolition! 🤯)

Very exciting encounter with this beautiful Bobcat, on Sonoma Mtn yesterday! S/he chased a squirrel through the forest and up this tree, but didn't catch it. I got a couple growls for having the gall to document her/his beauty. I did not linger. :) So cool!💚

Regulus, the brightest star in the constellation Leo. Sometimes nicknamed Cor Leonis, the Heart of the Lion. It's not really a single star, but a quadruple system with four stars that orbit as two pairs. One of my favorites. Uintah Mountains, Utah on February 14.
